Berkeley Audio Design and MQA?
@echolane . I concur.   
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
An MIT Z Cord lll, non networked cord might be beneficial. New near $1900, used 1/2 or less. I like mine.  
Measurements for a dedicated line
I agree completely with getting a dedicated line with thicker wiring. I would add that an Equitech 2Q or higher will be a wonderful complement.   
Repairs to Spectral preamp
Spectral. Disappointed with Spectral. (Berkeley is a different matter.)  
Berkeley Audio Design and MQA?
Interesting responses. I don't "hate" Berkeley. Just disappointed. I'll certainly "get over it :) " I did not think my post would be considered extreme. Just a little disappointed - no "hate" , not even dislike.  Disappointed,  just a little :). ...

Agree with jond - and very disappointed with Berkely. Won't buy  Anything else of theirs. Eric, any chance you know a competent service Shop. I'm not concerned about shipping costs, and have original boxes.   
Berkeley Audio Design and MQA?
I'm disappointed that a company like Berkely, Espousing dedication to fidelity, wouldn't have known and spoken of the false claims of MQA. My gut tells me they must have known; so shame on them.

Why were they not forthcoming. Do ethics matter in Audio?  
Component Video versus S-Video
Based on distortion and frequency response specs 100hz crossover in often ideal.  
Power Conditioner
MIT Z Stabilizer 2 has proven effective.

I am pleased with my Equitech 2Q  
Factory service for products from the 90's
A Rolls Royce from the 1990's still provides a luxurious ride and safely gets you from a to b. I think excellent audio products from the 90's still sound good.  
Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system?
I do.  
Thought on Spectral Audio's future?
@mijostyn your "friend" certainly never complained in a public way.... I welcome being corrected-- with facts, just the facts :)  
Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet
I'm glad to know he's still working on vinyl. I just signed up for The Absolute Sound :)
